CODE OF BUSINESS CONDUCT AND ETHICS

Introduction

For many years, CPI has enjoyed a reputation for high ethical standards in business and civic arenas. That reputation has been built--and must be maintained--on the basis of the conduct of all who represent our Company. This Code of Business Conduct and Ethics reflects the standards CPI employees, officers and directors are expected to observe to maintain and enhance our quality business practices. Underlying this Code are the fundamental requirements of honesty and good faith in all actions that reflect on the Company and our people. Employees, officers and directors are expected to honor this spirit as well as the letter of the principles expressed in this document. Even the appearance of improper conduct must be avoided.

This Code covers a broad range of business practices and procedures, but it does not cover every issue that may arise. Always err on the side of caution and if you have any questions about any part of this Code or its application in a particular circumstance, please contact your supervisor, the President, the Chief Financial Officer or the General Counsel for guidance.

1. Compliance with Laws, Rules and Regulations

All employees, officers and directors must respect and obey the laws, rules and regulations applicable in the jurisdictions in which we operate. You are not expected to know the details of these laws, but you should attend training sessions sponsored by the Company that cover legal issues that apply to your area of responsibility and seek advice from supervisors or the Legal Department as necessary.

2. Conflicts of Interest

All employees, officers and directors must be scrupulous in avoiding a conflict with the Companys interests. A conflict of interest exists when a person uses or appears to use their position in any way that may interfere with the interests of the Company. A conflict can arise when an employee, officer or director takes actions or has interests that may influence his or her ability to discharge his or her duties properly or make it difficult to perform his or her work on behalf of the Company. Conflicts of interest may also arise when an employee, officer or director, or members of his or her family, receives improper personal benefits as a result of his or her position in the Company. This Code does not attempt to describe all possible conflicts on interest which could develop. The following are some examples of situations that present a conflict of interest:

		Owning a financial interest in any outside company that provides or seeks to provide goods or services to CPI;

		Receiving any benefit from an outside company or person, directly or indirectly, (other than as a normal customer or shareholder) as a result of having the authority to influence Company decisions;
